This poem was written on April 30, 1996, by Richard Troy
a soft hush fills the air with pause
a gentle breeze pushes out the days heat,
replacing it with a cool embrace
darkness shrouds what light exists
with a satin contrast, sillhouettes expose
features unseen by day
A dog barks in the distant din
and a moon-beam shines on a ferrel cat
a bat flutters as it gropes at flys
...seen only in the sounds it knows
Inside a house a family sups,
in another, days events are shared
and all unwind their days
all creatures, large and small
know in their mirad tiny ways
that evening has fallen.
